Eligibility Criteria

Age6 Years - 17 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Successful completion of 12 weeks of double-blind treatment in core protocol CVAL489K2302.
  • Patients participating in study CVAL489K2302 who may have discontinued prematurely due to uncontrolled hypertension defined as MSSBP \> 20%, but \< 25% above the 95th percentile for age, gender, and height after visit 5, qualifies a patient for entry into this extension study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Renal artery stenosis.
  • Current diagnosis of heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV).
  • Second or third degree heart block without a pacemaker.
  • Concurrent potentially life threatening arrhythmia or symptomatic arrhythmia.
  • Clinically significant valvular heart disease.
  • Patient that demonstrates clinically significant ECG abnormalities other than those associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and AV block controlled with a pacemaker.
  • Previous solid organ transplantation except renal, liver or heart transplantation. Renal, liver or heart transplant must have occurred at least 6 months prior to enrollment. Patient must be on stable doses of immunosuppressive therapy for 3 months and deemed clinically stable by the investigator.
  • Patients who experienced any adverse events considered serious and drug related in protocol CVAL489K2302.
